Yeah, you were justified.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, and I'll put it bluntly, there will always be idiots.<br />
I know he may be wholly incorrect, bigoted, and even intentionally deceitful, but there really is nothing that can be done about these people.<br />

The best we can hope for is that the fundamentalists of two groups step on each others toes enough that they become their own targets. It's happened may times through history... it's bound to happen again. And like we always have, we need to preserve our…

Let them spend their time growing ulcers. You've got better things to think about than his idiotic ramblings. The main reason to post somet…tag:atheistnexus.org,2009-07-06:2182797:Comment:4040382009-07-06T13:56:12.068ZJim C.http://atheistnexus.org/profile/JimCraig
The main reason to post something like this is to show folks like Redlin that his assumptions and assertions won't go unchallenged. To sit silently is to give tacit approval to this kind of rhetoric.<br />
<br />
He has made claims that have no basis in fact and you called him on the carpet for it. You've done nothing wrong in that. Whether he's high profile or not doesn't enter into the equation. If he didn't want critics and critiques, he should have written it in a paper diary and locked it away.<br />

No matter what you write, he's going to continue on his own deluded way. But maybe someone on the sidelines will read what you have written, weigh both sides of this and realize that yours was the more rational and well considered stand on this issue.

The core of the matter, and don't ever expect a theist to understand this, is that rabid theists and rabid conspiracists/personality cultists are <i><b>indistinguishable</b></i> from one another.<br />
<br />
If you remove all reference to god(s), spooks, heroes/idols, and dogmatic credos, and simply use the template of their language and reasoning, it would be interchangeable for all. You just fill in the appropriate blanks.

Your response to that guy is totally justified. He is an idiot and he's wrong. Any sort of self-censorship would stifle the freedom of the marketplace of ideas. It may be a bit daft to respond to a bigoted idiot's blog on yours, but, then, what he said in the first place was daft.

You were completely justified in posting your response to the ignorant and bigoted original post by Gene Redlin. Blog posts, by their nature, don't have to meet ANY standards...ethical, factual, or otherwise. All we can do is call bullshit when we see it. In the long run, hopefully, the fittest ideas will survive.
